TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ Huge investment opportunities exist in India in various sectors including construction for Turkish companies, Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu said Tuesday. He said all issues such as trade deficit, raised by Turkey, would be looked upon by India.
“There is a huge potential for Turkish construction companies to operate in India,” Prabhu said here at India-Turkey Business Forum meet. While India’s exports to Turkey stood at USD 5 billion, imports were only USD 2.2 billion in 2017-18.
“We have discussed all issues and we will resolve those” to promote trade and investments between the two countries, he said. Turkey has flagged issues related to export of poppy seeds, agri products and enhancing banking relations to push its shipments in India.
In May, the Cabinet approved signing of a pact between the countries on trade in poppy seeds to ensure quick and transparent processing for its import from Turkey. The minister has also agreed to visit Turkey in February to discuss ways to further expand trade and investment relations.
